Update

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted. We have been having a great time in Utah. The weather has not been that great but I am really glad I was not Iowa when the sirens sounded, SCARY! (Jason called to tell me and then I worried all night).

We miss all of our friends and sad that we didn't get to see some of you for the last time. We hope everyone is doing well wherever you maybe, either on vacation or in your new homes.

I have been reading everyone elses blogs but haven't updated ours, so here it is.

Before we left Iowa Madi went to nursery for the first time and hasn't looked back. She walked right in, infact her first three times in nursery were all at different wards but she didn't care. She loves it.

We also went to the Farmers Market before we left. We love going there as a family and we will miss it, but we will be back for the corn. yummy!

I want to thank my brother and sister-in-law for letting us fly home with them. It turned out really nice because both Madilynn and Olivia got there own seat which helped them to sit still. It was even nicer that Brandt took Savannah and Madilynn and entertained them on the plane, while I sat by Olivia and his wife. Thank you uncle Brandt.

Memorial Weekend we went up to Bear Lake to help my Dad clean his cabin so it would be ready for the carpet. We had fun with family and Savannah even had her first horse ride, Madi was to scared.

We have going to the park, going on walks, Savannah has been riding her training wheel bike and loves it, playing outside (in a fenced yard, love it.)

We have been to baby showers, my girls will have 5 new cousins this summer, 3 of them in July.

Visiting family and friends.

My baby turned 6 months, it is really sad how fast they grow up.

Savannah went and saw her first movie in a theather (I know she is a deprived child), "Horton Hears a Who". She went with her grandpa and grandma Gardner and loved it especailly eating popcorn with her grandpa.

Kangaroo Zoo, an indoor blow-up playground.

Swimming lessons for Savannah, she is doing really well so far there have been no tears.

Sunday we went to Temple Square, there is always such a peaceful feeling there we love it.

We also went to the Salt Lake Cemetery to see President Hinkley's grave.

Best of all Jason decided to take his tests in Utah and so he is here now instead of being away for 3 more weeks. He thought he was stonger but he missed his girls too much, and we missed him.

Well there is a quick view of what we have been up to. Does anyone have any fun things they like to do when they go home?

YEAH!

YEAH! Today was the ending of a huge chapter in our lives, Jason had his last test today (besides boards). He has been in school a long time and work really hard. I am so proud of all his hard work and all he has done to balance everything in his life, I know it hasn't been easy. CONGRATULATIONS! everyone who has or will be finishing up another year of school. It just makes me what to jump up and down. Whenever I think about it I cannot stop SMILING! :)

Happy Birthday Jason!

Happy 32nd Birthday Honey! We hope you have a wonderful day studying for your boards, we will be thinking about you. We already miss you! We love you!

Fun!

I just wanted to do a little update, mostly for journal purposes.

We finally went to the Science Center with some friends and had a great time. Infact after lunch and everyone went home Savannah wanted stay so we stayed for a few more hours. It was lots of fun.

Nice weather is here, FINALLY and we have had a lot of fun going outside and playing. Savannah and Madilynn love playing outside and Olivia is always happy to sit outside and watch them play.

Jared and Kim came and stayed with us on their way back to Utah (Jared just graduated from Dental School and they are moving back to Utah). It was great to see them again, we hadn't seen them for a few years. Savannah loved playing with her new found friend Madison and now she can't wait to see her again in Utah. And Jason loved having a buddy to play Guitar Hero with. It was great to see you guys again and hopefully we will see more of you this summer. Good Luck with everything.

Sunday it was a little breezy so we went to the park to fly a kite. It was great to get out and the best part about it was that Jason got to come with us. I love it when we are all together. Hopefully after boards and we start 3rd year we will get to be together more.

Hope everyone is having a great spring.

Tulip Festival

Saturday we went to the Tulip Festival in Pella, IA. We had a great day together as a family.

We walked alot,

watched the parade,

learned a little about Holland, ate lots of food,

and of course saw lots of beautiful tulips.
